How to make PvP better?

I've been playing the game since 2016 and always had a feeling that PvP (GBL) would become a thing someday. When it was finally introduced, it was basic but acceptable, despite all the bugs and problems. I thought it was a big step for the Pokémon world and believed it would improve over time.

To my shock, all these years have passed, and almost nothing significant has changed. The mechanics remain the same. They’ve only made minor adjustments, like tweaking damage values for moves, timers, and switches, but no real innovation.

All these years, I’ve been imagining the possibilities—introducing Megas, Z-Moves as ultimate attacks, having two Fast Moves, a dodging mini-game, or other cool (though admittedly hard-to-code) features. But based on how things are now, I don’t think the company will ever go down that path. Maybe they don’t care enough, or maybe they just aren’t capable of handling such complexity with the existing bugs and the state of the PvP system.

So, I think the real question is: how can we make PvP more fun without breaking it? It also shouldn’t require too much coding or effort—because let’s be real, that’s what this company is more likely to do.

Any ideas?
